Jessica was the highlight of last week’s Oscars red carpet, and EW has chosen her their prime spot on the best dressed list.

After making every stop on the awards circuit this season, Jessica Chastain had her breakout style moment on the one red carpet where it really counts: the Oscars. Chastain’s one-of-a-kind silk organza Alexander McQueen gown stood out as the night’s best dress and instantly catapulted the actress, who has been building up her résumé with films like The Help and The Tree of Life, into the big leagues. “When I put it on, it feels like everything that I am experiencing tonight wrapped into one garment,” says Chastain, 30, who was not only attending her first Academy Awards but was there as a nominee. “The work they put into it, the embroidery, the details, the perfect fit, the colors – all remind me of the moment and made me emotional.”
